FTPClient vs RSAF
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
FTPClient
FTPClient is a very simple FTP, FTPS and SFTP client for Android 5.0+, using Apache Commons Net (https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-net) and SSHJ (https://github.com/hierynomus/sshj/). Features - view directory content - upload files to servers - create directories - download files - view file and directory properties - rename files and directories - view text and image files - edit text files
RSAF
RSAF is an Android document provider for the wonderful rclone. It allows any app that supports Android's Storage Access Framework (SAF) to access remote files via rclone's backends. RSAF is not itself a file manager, but any file manager supporting SAF, including the one built into Android (Settings -> Storage -> Documents), can make use of it.
